Andy Robertson admits there were times over the past two months when he wondered if it would be possible for Liverpool to return to training, but now the Scot has the Premier League title in his sights.
A meeting of the 20 clubs on Thursday is set to confirm that the 2019/20 campaign will recommence next month, with the weekend of June 20/21 looking most likely.
The resumption of the top-flight will see the Reds looking to pick up the two wins they need from nine matches to secure the club's first league title since 1990, and Robertson is hoping to end a seemingly interminable wait for supporters.
"It’s been 30 long years for this club and the fans probably couldn’t have imagined we’d have to wait nine weeks when we were so close to going into games where we hopefully could have won to seal the Premier League title," the left-back told the Reds' official website.
"But we’ll get back to it, we’ll get going again, we’ll get our rhythm again and hopefully we can win the games we need to win and that’s what our aim is now.
"The light at the end of the tunnel was just getting back into training, to be honest. At times, there were some days you didn’t think that would have been possible, but now we’re back here, we can look forward and look to the next step.
"Then, like I said, hopefully with the games we’ve got ahead of us, we can get back to it."
Any lifting of the title would have to be done behind closed doors, but Robertson is accepting of that and says the squad are now merely just focused on getting the job done.
"Would we like to play in front of 55,000 people at Anfield? Of course we would," he continued.
"Winning games or whatever without the fans won’t feel the same, but it’s something we know we need to go through and it’s something we know that in their houses and stuff they will be supporting us like mad and we’ll feel that support.
"Hopefully we can celebrate a title if we get the job done – and there will be time to celebrate it when the time is right.
"But for now we need to keep focused, we know whatever games are coming up and whenever they start, we need to get them won and get that trophy for this club."
